[Kindle Fire General] gruuvin:
So BobTheZealot and I are both having the same problem:

Bob, I have GoLauncher as well and same problems you re-iterated: long press gives me a menu but selecting shortcut from the menu gives me nothing -- with either launcher. And I started with LauncherPro as my first choice, but it always force closed, so I dumped it.

So to restate my problem: I can get the menu that gives me the shortcut option, but if I select shortcut, I do not get the next menu -- whether I try it via the "Menu - Add" option as mentioned by blauceil or long press on home screen -- neither works out.

So can anybody actually make a shortcut via these methods?
[Kindle Fire General] YMark:
That is one long convoluted process that you're making way too hard.

All I did was make ADW my "default" launcher, put the stock launcher on the ADW launch bar, and then make the ADW launcher a "favorite" on the stock launcher. This puts it on the shelf. Done. And a whole lot simpler.
[Kindle Fire General] gruuvin:
That is virtually what I did, except even simpler. You don't need to add ADW as a favorite in the stock launcher because the home button already takes you there. And AnyCut is not necessary for this, but the main problem that this thread is about is the difficulties in creating a shortcut on the home screen.
[Kindle Fire General] YMark:
How is yours simpler? Your process uses Anycut, which is totally unnecessary. And why are you launching the Kindle Reader? Then to go back to "docs" or something else, it takes more steps.

My home button brings up the ADW launcher. If I switch to the Amazon launcher and am on the default home screen (the one with the carousel), there is not HOME button. So to get back to the ADW launcher, I put that app on the shelf.
[Kindle Fire General] gruuvin:
The shortcut does not launch kindle reader! It launches "Launcher" which is the stock launcher. AnyCut is not unnecessary -- its just a different way of creating the shortcut, and for a good reason: so I can name my shortcut what I want, so instead of being called "Launcher" I rename it "kindle" which makes more sense (im pretty new to ADW, LauncherPro was my launcher of choice, now i see that ADW allows renaming shortcuts). And I see your point about not being able access the home button from the default home screen (with the carousel). Adding ADW as a favorite takes care of that -- nice!
[Kindle Fire General] gruuvin:
But back on topic, YMark, if you long press on your ADW home screen and select "Shortcuts", do you get another menu to select the type of shortcut? Or do you get nothing as Bob and I have observed?
[Kindle Fire General] YMark:
I get nothing. Not sure why.
[Kindle Fire General] BobTheZealot:
Think the launchers aren't handling that as expected on the Kindle Fire. Some ignore it, others (LauncherPro) force close. Someone brighter than us is going to have to weigh in on this.

gruuvin, LauncherPro force closes unless you convert it to a system app. You can use Titanium Backup to convert it to a system app. Reboot, and you should be good to go. I find LauncherPro much smoother than other launchers on the Kindle Fire - virtually no lag when scrolling the app drawer, for instance.
[Kindle Fire General] gruuvin:
Thanks for that tip, Bob. I got LauncherPro working that way... unfortunately I can not create/change the dock shortcuts either without it force closing :(

Anybody able to create shortcuts via the mentioned methods?
[Kindle Fire General] sl0ttedpig:
Yes, shortcuts, custom shortcuts and folders all seem to be broken when using ADW Launcher. Don't know if that is specific to ADW on the KF, but I can't get them to work.

Looked in ADW settings, but nothing seems to be obvious there.
[Kindle Fire General] blauciel:
I long press apps on the app drawer, then drag them into place;that's how I've always added app shortcuts. You're right, though, the shortcut option doesn't work.

//Tapatalk.KindleFire//
[Kindle Fire General] BobTheZealot:
gruuvin: Yes, sorry, I meant that method would get LauncherPro to at least work. Still FCs when you try to create a shortcut.

But the method Blauciel described works just fine! Long press in App drawer and drag to home screen. Thanks Blauciel!

Now, all I need to do is figure out how to create folders. There may be a way to edit the LauncherPro config file directly to achieve that. This sounds promising:

[Kindle Fire General] ags29:
You have to remember that Amazon heavily modified Android on this thing so that menus that you are expecting to pop up may not even be accessible in the way you may be used to on regular versions of Android.
[Kindle Fire General] blauciel:
Glad I could help!

//Tapatalk.KindleFire//
[Kindle Fire General] gruuvin:
Ya, dropping shortcuts to apps onto the home screen from the app drawer works well, but...

I was hoping to create a shortcut to an image folder with Astro via long press on home screen > Shortcuts > Astro > [image folder name]

... same for making shortcuts to Dolphin bookmarks

ahh well :(
[Kindle Fire General] gruuvin:
Before your advice I couldn't even get LauncherPro to run! This is a welcomed step in the right direction, since I did buy LauncherPro.

I think I may be able to even change the dock shortcuts via editing that xml file.

Thanks Bob -- all good stuff!!
[Kindle Fire General] blauciel:
Can you not create a shortcut via Menu -> Add?

//Tapatalk.KindleFire//
[Kindle Fire General] orntar:
no, anything calling the shortcut menu fc's.

what launchers are you guys using that you never noticed thus functionality missing?
[Kindle Fire General] hoss12300:
At the risk of posting off topic, I was wondering if anyone has sussed out a way to show recent apps? Coming from a far less hobbled version of Gbread, I've discovered just how much I use the "long press home" feature and its causing a bit of a hitch in my giddyup. :rolleyes:

TIA,

H123
[Kindle Fire General] blauciel:
Get Button Savior, it has soft buttons, and long pressing that home button gives recent apps. Or you can use the amazon launcher.

//Tapatalk.KindleFire//
[Kindle Fire General] hoss12300:
Most excellent, sir. Works like a charm.

Well done that man!

H123
[Kindle Fire General] ags29:
You can also use SwipePad.

Edit: Button Savior works nice too. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] MinionOfEckerd:
I am also looking for the answer to this question. I was able to sideload CarDock from my Droid 3 but on the screen where it says "Add shortcut+" clicking on the button does nothing.

I want to be able to add shortcuts so I can use the CarDock to launch applications quickly while in my car. (Don't worry, I'm not reading while driving... ;))

But I've tried a couple different "Application" files from my Droid 3 but none of those worked. We need to find the file that tells the system to open up a list of the applications.
[Kindle Fire General] gruuvin:
nope. Same as long press on home screen... it brings up the same menu, but selecting "shorcuts" does nothing.

Does it work for you?
[Kindle Fire General] blauciel:
Nope. I tried custom shortcut and it appeared to work at first, so I thought it was. Found out neither shortcut option worked after I posted that.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] jteplitz602:
Hi,

I'm very new to android and have never made any custom roms before so I'm sorry if I sound too much like a noob, but I am a developer and have many years of programming experience so hopefully that will make up for it.

I've been working on porting ICS to the bionic from the AOSP for a little while now and I think I almost have it. I've gotten it to build for the bionic and flashed it via CWM (I can't use Safestrap because it doesn't support custom functions inside updater-script). Unfortunately I am now stuck at the initial Motorola Dual Core technology screen. I'm not sure how to access the logs from this. Because I can't get past the boot screen I have to reflash the stock OS with fastboot everytime. I've checked /data/dontpanic and /data/kernelpanics and /data/panicreports but there is nothing there. I'm not sure if this is because it get's wiped or because the failure is before the init.rc script runs (though I suspect it is the latter because I'm not wiping /data when I flash the stock ROM).

Does anybody know if there is a way for me to see any sort of boot log to see what's causing it to freeze on this screen? Is it releated to the locked bootloader? LIke I said I'm a complete noob when it comes to ROM development but thought I would give this a shot and I think I'm really close. Any advice would be much appreciated.

P.S. sorry for not posting in the dev forum but apparently I'm not allowed to.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dknlght:
I installed the eng hboot .76 on an old evo that had the latest hboot 2.16. I wiped everything using fastboot command and had plan on restore everything to stock. but now nothing I will do will flash. I keep getting the "model id Error" every time I try to flash using the RUU utility and through hboot. I tried even using fastboot commands to flash the system.img but it says it's too large to flash through remote. I tried updating the hboot back to 2.16 but gives me the same error. Anyone has any suggestions? What is causing the evo to keep thinking I have the wrong model? thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
I've never had that happen but make sure you have the right RUU for our phone also make sure you have the correct radios combo for the RUU your flashing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dknlght:
Unfortunately that didn't help either. I used a RUU image with the exact same radio version and still gives me the model id error

edit: Ok after some more research I found what my problem is but I have not found the solution. The problem is that I flashed an engineering hboot on an evo with the new partition cause other's that had done it are getting the same error messages I am. But I still haven't seen any of them finding a solution to get the evo working again. If anyone has any insight on this issue please help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
I don't think it is fixable now. Look in dev for RA like 3.08 gnm recovery. If you can get that to flash, then u may be able to use it to rewrite the blocks. Read about it in its thread

Support TrevE! Fuh Q CIQ!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
I'm just stumped on why you would want to downgrade the Hboot?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dknlght:
Thanks that didn't seem to work either guess i'm out of luck. The reason I downgraded the Hboot was because I was replacing a broken evo with a blacklisted evo and this was a fast method to do that. But I forgot about the issue with the new hardware version.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lacedaemon:
HipKat, I downgraded my HBOOT so I could flash a custom splash screen, just sayin'.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dknlght:
Well, I'm still trying to fix it so I'm going to post my progress just in case someone has any new ideas. First off I did make some progress as I no longer get the model id error and was able to start the flashing process now. But the process never finishes successfully. I started taking a different approach on how to fix the problem. Instead of looking for an EVO fix I research all the fastboot commands and what they can do. I managed to figure out that some how the model ID on my evo was removed and replace with a symbol that looks like a *. This was the cause of my error because it was comparing this to the mode id in the roms and failing. I found the fastboot command to update the model id and was actually able to start the flashing process. But 3/4 into the flashing it failed and gave me an error of "51 partition update fail". Now I can't get into the bootloader anymore and I only see the HTC Logo with 4 Exclamation marks at the corners. I still am able to execute fastboot commands so I'm continuing the research. So hopefully someone has a fix for this new error. thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] evoRomz:
i just recently installed the synergy rom for my evo 3d. which comes with a wipe all, and changes my partition to ext4. im going to changing roms and i need to know before i flash a new rom, will i have to reformat my sd card and change it to ext2? and if so what sizes should i make it?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genrauser:
For example, let's say, I wanna change a widget that comes in stock roms, let's say digital clock or whatever another widget.

I've read some ways for doing this:

- With root explorer or command line, push the new .apk into the required folder and overwrite the apk (save the old one before!) then reboot.

- Via recovery, install from zip the app and reboot.

- Just install the .apk normally like it was a new app.

I've read that you can't use third method if you have the app installed already as system, so let's ignore that method.

About methods 1 and 2:

Can you choose method for any app? I mean, can I choose to replace an apk that had the instructions to be installed via recovery in a zip? can I do the inverse?

And a big doubt:

Can this affect the phone in any way? I mean replacing system widget or system minor apps, not dialer, settings or anything important.

Even if you put a bad file as the new .apk, the worst thing that can happen is that you wont find the widget or the app right? and its easilly solved by replacing it with the saved copy of the original system apk?

Thanks in advance for the help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genrauser:
I am sorry for bumping this, but can't anyone for really ask this noob question? :'(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
Well, worst case scenario is that you install some malware. But that shouldn't be a problem if you trust the source.

If the app/widget does not work, it shouldn't have impact on your system as long as it's not a critical app like the music player.

Before you mess with such files, you should better backup the entire ROM with cwm anyway.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genrauser:
Okay, thanks for the reply!

So yeah, you can play with non-critical system apps as I thought.

About the 'malware' stuff, isn't it dependant on which app you're replacing?

For example, if I replace a digital clock widget, malware couldn't do **** since this hasn't any kind of permissions right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
Not really.

I mean it's easy to write a Keyboard-App-replacement with a build-in keylogger. However the malware might use exploits.

For example you can replace the music player and the infected one uses an exploit for "privilege escalation" to gain root rights.

Unlikely but possible.

It's just one example. You have to understand that malware doesn't need the system to allow anything, if it's well written.

You should just make sure that you get the apps from a trusted source.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genrauser:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] les_garten:
I'm having trouble figuring out how to shut off WiFi and Data and only use when I enable them. No Matter how I have the Data setup,when I turn off Wifi, Data connection turns up.

I would like to have them only enabled when I want them enabled.

Any way to do that?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
You can use widgetzoid to set a togglebar for wifi/data.

I prefer using 'wifiwidget' for wifi because it shows the connection point and speed. I use widgetzoid for all my other toggles though (bluetooth/gps/etc)

- Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] les_garten:
Both of these are great little apps. But still the same problem. If I switch off WiFi, data comes on. I can switch it off with the widget and it pops back on. If the data is on, I can toggle it, but it just pops back on. If I turn on WiFi, data stays off.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Darius:
To turn off 3g mobile data and only use wifi (when on), just go to Settings>Wireless and network > Mobile networks then uncheck "Use packet data". If you want to use it again just check it back on.

Apps can do it but I prefer to just use the settings.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abirsharda:
The easiest way to turn wifi...just disable it from the 'notification menu'..

as for 3g or data services...long press the power/lock key till a menu pops up and select 'Data network mode'...this disables/enables it..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] les_garten:
